Editing Minutes

MuniMins generates a draft. If something needs correcting — a name, a vote count, a motion description, or the wording of a discussion summary — you can edit it directly.

Editing the title and date. Click directly on the meeting title at the top of the minutes view page to rename it. The meeting date can be changed the same way. These edits are inline — there's no separate form, just click the text and type.

Editing the full minutes. Click Edit on the minutes view page. The minutes open in a text editor. Make your changes and click Save. Your edits are preserved — MuniMins won't overwrite them unless you regenerate the minutes.

Editing individual motions. Each motion has an Edit button at the end. Click it to modify just that motion's text inline. Click Save to commit. This is useful for fixing a mover or seconder name, correcting a vote count, or adjusting motion language.

What editing doesn't do

Editing the minutes text doesn't change the underlying transcript or extraction data. If you correct a speaker name in the minutes, the transcript still shows the original label. For speaker corrections, use the speaker identification feature in the transcript section instead.

When to edit vs. regenerate

Small fixes (typos, a wrong name, a vote count off by one) — edit. Bigger issues (wrong detail level, entire sections missing, want a different tone) — regenerate the minutes at a different detail level. See Regenerating Minutes.
